So let's see what you're describing as "attempts to subvert democracy".

So far we have the recount
How does a recount subvert democracy? It actually ensures that the democratic result is accurate.
Quote:
the movement for the electors to choose someone else
This is undemocratic, but it's not a subversion of anything, it's a potentiality built into the system. Not that it matters, because it absolutely won't happen.

and now this grand conspiracy of Russians hacking emails.
It's a conspiracy theory? Russian involvement is well known, it's not even controversial, and now you've got a federal agency confirming it. This is fact. If a foreign nation deliberately interfered to alter the result of an election, that is the subversion of democracy you're looking for. Whether it actually rises to that level such that the result should be rejected is arguable, depending on what concrete findings are made.
